The 20th Annual St. Mary's Chocolate Festivalwas today and it was a blast : )
I hope you got a chance to stop by.
So much to see and do -
The frozen casserole sale was a complete success and completely sold out in the first hour! Silly me - I headed straight for the chocolate...and by the time I got to the casseroles they were all gone : (
Silent auction- there were so many cool items on which to bid. Artwork, chocolate baskets, rounds of golf, spa day for two, dinner/theatre combo, pet baskets, gardening gifts, jewelry, three days/two nights in Hilton Head, Football tickets!!, so much more and... parties-parties-parties!! Yes - you didn't have to bid - just sign up and pay the per person amt. Such as: and oyster roast to be held on Feb 21 at the Mickey Anaclerio residence. Last year this party raised a ton of money for the school. Oh, and Mickey is my landlord :) There were other parties too. Japanese Dinner, Girls Night Out......
The new/used book sale - lots and lots of books to choose from - CHEAP!! And then even cheaper at the end of the day. (down to $1/bag!!)
Bake Sale- it was hard to make a choice - everything looked soooo good. I work for the most recognizable agent in Aiken...therefore I get recognized by lots of people too. (recognition by association, lol) I asked one of the volunteers at the bake sale if there were any ‘buckeyes'..and she said - 'no, Kara, I'm sorry - Jane Page was just here and asked the same thing!' I must have had a blank look on my face - and as I started to speak she said ‘it's me---Roseanne from The Real Estate Book' OMG - of course! I just didn't recognize her in that bakers apron! And to be honest...I was paying more attention to all the chocolate delights, hehehe.
Food of course - burgers/hot dogs/fries/ice cream/choc cakes and pies by the slice/cookies/brownies......! - and face painting - carriage rides and more!
Rides and games for the kids - a blood drive - pet adoption - plant sale - A pudding toss --- this was too funny!
Even a mechanical bull----or was it a chocolate moose? Oh - no no no - Chocolate Moose was the band - and they were actually pretty good! TAKE A LOOK!!
Irish Dancers put on a show too - these kids have practiced A LOT!! Check it out!
Schedule of Events:
Pie Eating Contest!!
It was a great day! I hope you were able to make it. If not - there's always next year :)
